Wimbledon: German hopes rest on Struff
From a German perspective, hopes rest on Jan-Lennard Struff after Alexander Zverev’s first-round exit. The only remaining German in the singles competition still has a chance of reaching the third round on Thursday.
His second-round match against Félix Auger-Aliassime was interrupted on Wednesday with the score at 3-6, 7-6 (11-9) from the Warstein native’s perspective. In the tiebreak of the second set, the 35-year-old fended off four set points and managed to even the score.
